Basketball

This is the first year that Madelyn was old enough to play basketball on the Augusta Youth Basketball (AYB) league. I was actually suprised when Madelyn expressed interest in playing. Madelyn plays on one of the 1st and 2nd grade girls' teams and is the only first grader on her team. Altough the youngest of the team, she is as tall or taller than the other five girls. Practices are Monday and Thursday evenings and games are every Saturday. Madelyn's team is 100%, with not winning a game yet. They try hard but just don't have the experience or skill that some of the other teams have. However, the girls all seem to have a good time and at this age I suppose that is what is important.

Since basketball season is right in the midst of wrestling Ryan very rarely gets to take Madelyn to practice and won't be able to attend a game until March. I, unfortunately, am one of those moms that gets too emotionally involved and yells too much at the games. I'm sure Ryan is glad that he doesn't have to witness his wife acting a fool at his daughter's game...but just wait until March.





Monkey in the middle before the game.......these girls are hardcore! :)
